1. NPC Point CostsIs there a mistake in the costs of the three sample NPCs in the book? By my calculation, they should all be 1 point higher. I think the 1 point for buying an NPC might have been forgotten (I know its the most consistent error I make in designing critters).

Here's an Example.

Brass Serpent of Knossos: 1

Name to d8: 2 pts

Wrestle +2 levels: 2pts

Sword: +2 levels: 2 pts

Armour d8 = 2 pts

Fangs: +4 pts

Lunging Strike: +1 pts

Natural Weapons, Poison, Swift = 5-pts

Total: 19-points, but reported at 18.

(The costed out example of the Ion Boar is correct, and the three Minions seem to be correct, too.)

2. Non-combat Battles: NPC ArmourWhen you're in a non-combat Battle, you get to use an Ability for armour.Do NPCs work the same way, or do they have to buy armour? (I assume the answer is they work the same way as PCs, but my assumptions are often wrong :) thus the question.)
